Setup developer tool

Master the secrets of race car Setup Fu with straight-up questions and answers using the Race2Play Setup Developer Tool!

This interactive program steps the user through the major areas of race car setup and tuning, asking simple questions about the telemetry readings and behavior of the car under specific race conditions. "How does the car react at initial turn-in?" "How does the car feel from mid-corner to exit when on the throttle?" "What type of track are you preparing for?"

Choosing from a menu of possible responses to the questions ("Sluggish turn-in", "Oversteer", "Long sweeping corners"), the user describes the car and the program calculates possible setup changes accordingly. Questions asked. Questions answered.
